Recipe Introduction
Unusual, this Banana Bread uses yeast
List of Ingredients
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
5 1/4 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon waterRecipe
In a saucepan, cook and stir milk, butter and sugar over medium heat until butter is melted; cool to 120 to 130 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, yeast, salt, 2 eggs, bananas and milk mixture; beat on low speed until combined. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a firm dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Punch down.
Divide dough in half; shape each into a round loaf. Place on a greased baking sheet; cut slits in tops. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. (Can be baked in loaf pans, too. If so, be sure dough touches both ends of pans before rising.)
Beat remaining egg with water; brush over the loaves. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown, and when tapped on the bottom, sounds hollow.
Yields 2 loaves.
